What a great time! Terrific food and a really fun bunch of people this eve.

What I didn't post in the event details is that tonight was a "face my fears" exercise. I only had Korean food once before. It was in Atlanta, and I went with a friend of mine (cheers to Mark Bentcover if he ever finds this web page) who is WAY more adventurous with food than I am. I made the mistake of letting him order for us both that eve, and aside from an unfortunate Chinese New Year incident back in '95, I haven't had a more traumatic dining experience.

So, I finally decided that I had to get over my Korean-Food-A-Phobia and tonight certainly did the trick. I had Bul Go Gi (stir fried beef), accompanied by Kimchi (spicy pickled cabbage) and other unidentified delectables. Unlike my experience in Atlanta, there was no paste with little bitty fish-heads in it, nor scary veiney gristly chicken soup to be found.

I think everyone else enjoyed their meals too, and Milena and Tomma enjoyed a bit of MY meal for me too. :)
